How can I autoplay a video using the new embed code style for Youtube?
video, youtube, youtube-api
Solution
Just put `?autoplay=1` in the url the video will autoload.
So your url would be: `http://www.youtube.com/embed/JW5meKfy3fY?autoplay=1`.
In case you wanna disable autoplay, just change from `1` to `0`: `?autoplay=0`.
If you embed the Youtube video in an iframe, you need to add `allow="autoplay"` to the HTML. Example: `<iframe src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/JW5meKfy3fY?autoplay=1" allow="autoplay"></iframe>`
Problem
I can't work out how to autoplay a video using the new embed code style for Youtube. I tried adding &autoplay=1 to the url, which worked with the old style, but it didn't work. For example, http://www.youtube.com/embed/JW5meKfy3fY is the embed link, but http://www.youtube.com/embed/JW5meKfy3fY&autoplay=1 doesn't work. Can anyone tell me how to do it? Thanks
